"Seven years sober. I'm really grateful. It’s really lovely to be present in my life," a humble Colin tells Ellen DeGenereson her show today. "I was terrified [of being sober] because, I'm not saying I was a great actor before or a great actor since, but I was terrified that whatever my capacity was as an actor beforehand, however little or large — it would completely dispappear."

"I [subscribed] to the notion that to be able to express yourself in an artistic form in life, you have to live in perpetual pain, and it’s nonsense," he adds, proudly. "There's enough pain in the world."

Colin admits that he "laughs easier" nowadays and has "genuinely more fun in life" thanks to sobriety and yoga, which he says "keeps me erect," all joking aside! (He's talking about his spine, people!)

Now, he's looking for that special someone to share his joy of life with, and Ellen swears she's going to help him.
